COP29 Preview

“In the annals of insanity, it would be hard to improve on the spectre of a British prime minister being flown over to a remote spot in the world in an RAF passenger jet.All this is to enable him to virtue signal in front of the British media – also flown over for the occasion – offering an impossible and unnecessary emissions target while lying about the consequences of forcing state and subordinate institutions to make the attempt.

We are, of course, talking about Cop29, the latest in the annual fest of the brain-dead and clinically insane, gathered together to conspire in the destruction of Western economies, putting those observers and commentators who have to write about it through a process which no-one should ever be asked to suffer.”

Wed 6 Nov 2024

Ursula von der Leyen’s decision to miss the Cop29 climate summit is “a fatal signal” and raises questions about Europe’s commitment to the climate crisis, observers have said.

Also skipping the “world leaders’ climate action summit” on Tuesday and Wednesday are France’s Emmanuel Macron and the outgoing US president, Joe Biden. The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, cancelled his participation due to a head injury, Reuters reported. The leaders of China, South Africa, Japan and Australia are expected to miss the talks as well.”
